And he told them a parable, “Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit? No disciple is superior to the teacher; but when fully trained, every disciple will be like his teacher.”
Luke 6:39-40
Christ Our Teacher
Jesus found the sheep of his flock emaciated, tattered, and torn for lack of green pastures and caring shepherds. Lamentably, “blind” religious authorities had failed to teach and model the true essence of the Law and the Prophets. Fledgling disciples learning to walk in the way of the Lord have no greater teacher than Christ himself, the Son of God. Jesus came to open the eyes of the blind and rescue his flock from the pit of destruction.
Can the blind lead the blind?
Pit or pastures will they find?
Traditional Chinese Translation
《導盲者》
瞎子能帶瞎子嗎？
他們會找到深坑還是牧場？
Dear GMC, You give us so much to think about in your reflection. I’m still trying to find my way. Luckily, I’m directed towards Jesus and I close my eyes and let Him lead.
